Society of Professional Journalists Wants to Avoid Term 'Illegal Immigrants'

By Paul Wilson | January 10, 2012 | 21:27

A group that calls itself "The nation's most broad-based journalism organization, dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior" sounds important, and would probably be a stickler for accuracy among its members and in its own affairs, wouldn't it?

Not the Society of Professional Journalists. SPJ recently institutionalized political correctness, asserting that undocumented workers should not be tagged with the so-called offensive term "illegal."

Reporter Who Badgered Elderly Robbery Victim Fired

By Warner Todd Huston | March 07, 2008 | 11:27

We reported last October the story of reporter Rebecca Aguilar of Fox 4 in Dallas, Texas who confronted and badgered an elderly victim of several robberies who responded to his attackers with deadly force. Aguilar was seen in her interview keeping the poor fellow from shutting his car door as she accusingly asked the man if he was "a trigger happy person" because he had killed the robbers who accosted him.

Well, we have an update on this pushy, unfeeling reporter, It seems she's been fired.
